GRATEFUL!!!!! tonight for:
1. Friday! Whoo-hoo, I have been craving the weekend all week! It has been a wild and crazy week and I'm glad to have four days all for myself!
2. The gerbera daisies my neighbor brought me - they're beautiful.
3. Feeling sleepy and knowing I can sleep in tomorrow. Lol which for me means about 7am
4. The great fall weather -going to take the dog for a long walk in the woods tomorrow. Maybe with our new doggie friend. Oh, and their person too.
5. Being able to hang onto myself when it seemed like others were losing it.
6. Rediscovering rat busters
7. Lunch at a great Italian restaurant tomorrow.
8. That I am making a good distinction between helping and rescuing.
9. Wonderful help from a friend today, just in the nick of time.
10. Grateful to have the gratitude habit!
Gnite all - happy Friday night and rest of the weekend!

I am grateful for reading this tonight. It says it all for me.
"Each day I am grateful for nights that turn into mornings, friends that turn into family, dreams that turn into reality and likes that turn into love."
Good night all.

Beautiful, HL - it's a keeper
Missing Fands - hope she'll be back. Missing Reub but haven't seen her in a long time - trust she is busy keeping her business going.
Grateful this Saturday night for:
1. A fun lunch out at Olive Garden with an old friend I hadn't seen in a long time. Great talk and I didn't TOTALLY blow my diet.
2. Being able to keep my ego in check during a difficult phone call.
3. The Serenity Prayer. Still struggling with the "wisdom to know the difference part." I think I will the rest of my life, but at least I'm aware of it now!
4. My dog - she's all legs! Such a sweetie and wonderful company.
5. Finding a new fall wreath for my front door. I got a new one a few weeks ago but it just wasn't right. I'll give it to someone who will enjoy it.
6. New socks for the season!!!!
7. Being able to do something nice for a neighbor who has really been there for me recently.
8. Letting go of a responsibility this weekend. Actually, when I thought about it, I realized it wasn't a responsibility at all - it was something I thought I OUGHT to do, and actually, it was none of my business!
9. This beautiful fall day - blue sky, leaves beginning to change, soft breeze.
10. God's love. This is the biggest grat.
Happy Weekend grat pack!

Thanks Sneezy. I agree. One of those days I wish I knew how to cross stitch because I would make that into a wall hanging. Maybe I will stencil it on our NEW home somewhere because we now have 2 interested parties in our home!!!
We had a showing yesterday that lasted a hour!! I'm thinking at least 1 offer if not 2 this coming week. We'll see. Things are looking up for us! Husband may be coming home in time to help pack us up.
Prayers, positive energy and anything else would be accepted by this truly grateful family.

I can't tell you how often I think of you moving back upstate here S....I hope there is a huge "bidding war" for your house and they throw their checkbooks at you. (well not really throw them but they pay). There is a japanese maple waiting here with your name on it to plant by the new house.

I KNEW that would bring you out! Well it is true.
Today we celebrate my Mom's birthday. She is 72 years old October 18th and she is feeling so much better then 2 weeks ago! I'm so happy and grateful to have her around and to have doing so well. I have made her the typical Mom's favorite dinner of lasagna, garlic bread and cesear salad.

Thanks RZ!!! It was happy except when she opened my birthday card and started to cry. LOL! So sentimental that woman!
WELCOME Horsekisses and by the way I L-O-V-E the name and please, please continue to come here. We have added you to the family and now you must attend. There I've spoken. I'm harmless really!
Oh and IWBWI is welcome to come and post here too! Hint! Hint! My Fandy has "kind of" dropped off or temporarily and Reub is busy. I need some peeps to keep Sneezy and myself company.
Grateful this evening for a beautiful day.
Grateful that dinner turned out tasty and I didn't burn anything.
Grateful that my son suggested we all play a board game. Lots of fun even if I came in last. I love playing board games and usually he does not. He may now since he won!
Grateful for time to relax a bit. Busy weekend.
Grateful for another showing tomorrow! Lots of interest and awaiting the offers that are sure to be coming in.
Grateful for sleep because I could use it tonight. Got up too early for me.
Grateful for ibuprofin when sore throat tries to invade.
Grateful that son has only 3 days of school this week.
Grateful for my life - my friends and family - my animals - my health - my SOBER LIVING and LOVING!!! Its so awesome to feel and experience life rather then numbing everything out.
Sweet dreams one and all and can't wait to see all of your grats tomorrow.

We'll take you part-time IWBWI. I hope Horsekisses returns also.
Grateful for a beautiful, although extremely windy day.
Grateful for keeping a positive attitude when a scheduled showing today got rescheduled. I figured - clean house - time on my hands! Its all good and I get to do it again on Wednesday. At least it wasn't a cancel.
Grateful that if we change our thinking then our life goes a lot smoother.
Grateful for a nice person to work for.
Grateful for the fact that husband will be home very soon.
Grateful that all will be fine and together, he and I can handle just about anything.
Grateful for relaxing time before dinner. Leftovers. Wish son liked the same, but since he doesn't he may be having cereal.
Grateful for "Property Brothers" shows. They are so much fun and what results and magic they perform in the end.

I don't think I've ever had a horse kiss me - there's always a first time!
Darn! I just accidentally erased half my grats - grrrr......... not too grateful for that
Grateful tonight for:
1. Running into the new neighbor dog that we met at the lake. He may be a little too rambunctious for my more sedate girlie but he's still a young 'un.
2. Being able to cross one big work-related worry off my list. Yee-hoo!
3. Early chocolate Halloween candy. Just a few little ones, Fands ....
4. My friend who let me whine away this morning. So grateful for her.
5. Not losing my temper when somebody was being a real horse's patootie.
6. Steamable frozen veggies in the bag. So easy!
7. My talented niece - love that girl.
8. A perfect autumn day - I love the change of seasons but if I had to pick my favorite season and weather, today would be it - beautiful. And I got to spend some time out in it too!
9. Not letting myself get discouraged and too resentful today. Hard day today but it'll be better tomorrow.
10. God's love and sobriety. My family and friends. My life that is so much better than it was two years ago.
See everybody tomorrow - have a good night, sleep tight!
